How can I get the agent to send an SNMPv1 enterprise-specific trap?

There are two ways to do this. You can either use the 'send_v2trap()' call and give a varbind list, starting with the v2-equivalent of the SNMPv1 trap, followed by the additional varbinds.

Alternatively, you can use the (undocumented) API call 'send_enterprise_trap_vars()' which takes the same parameters as 'send_trap_vars()', plus the enterprise OID to use (in the usual name/length form). See the code file 'agent_trap.c'

In either case, you also need to have 'trapsink' in the snmpd.conf file. The resulting trap will be identical, whichever approach is used.
